Ann Street residents in Stroudsburg Borough can enjoy free parking temporarily, with parking meters recently having been taken into the borough building for calibration, said Borough Manager Cathie Thomas.

The borough has been calibrating its parking meters every three years, but a recent change in the law will now require calibration every five years after this year, Thomas said. Some meters elsewhere in the borough already have been calibrated while others are awaiting the process.

"This is a good time of year to perform this task," Thomas said. "That way, on days when the weather is not conducive for our parking enforcement officers being outside the entire work day, this is a job which they can perform indoors.

"I don't know exactly when we will complete the calibration for the Ann Street meters, but it should be soon," she said. "They will be put back in place afterward."
